| davebo | 10 | | | Even though I am bored silly of this game, you gotta have it. Every kid likes to play it, and it only takes seconds to teach. Adults can join in and not have any advantage. |
| fsumarc | 9 | 7 | Yes | A great party game for a group of kids only or mixed ages. works just like the regular version except it has more kid friendly (less pop culture) card subjects. This has worked really well when we have a bunch of friends and their kids come over. we have had games with ages from 7 - 70 at the same time. a lot of laughing. |
| Jatoha | 9 | | | Rated for kids who can read. The kids play this by themselves---I am SICK of it. But the kids always laugh a lot when playing. they can teach it to their friends. It requires some creativity, so I feel good about that. |
| Mark | 9 | 7 | Yes | Excellent for building word and thinking skills. |
| PieMan | 9 | 6 | Yes | We use this game as a nice intro / warm-up for game days. The kids (10 & 7) can't get enough of it, and it works great with adults included in the mix too.
I'm just surprised that the cards aren't more kid-friendly, especially since it is JR. Could you find a more boring picture of the same apple over and over? An actual picture that represents the card word in a silly way would be FAR more helpful for younger kids. That's the ONLY reason my recommended minimum is 6; otherwise, 4-5 year olds can play and enjoy IF they can read. |
| Styro | 9 | 4 | Yes | This is one of our kids (4-9) favorite games. It is also pretty fun to play with them as adults. The youngest needs help reading the words, but sometimes just picking a random card out of your hand can give you just as much chance of winning with how silly our kids get when playing! |
| 122norfolk | 8 | | | our children love this game and seem never to tire of the inherent silliness. There is plenty of room for creativity and cleverness and there is a tremendous amount of group interection. However, as an adult I will avoid playing it at all costs. Even the children's joy can not overcome the tediousness that sets in after the first few plays. Again, seemingly great for children but for a mix of kids and adults, blahh |

| metalchorus | 8 | 6 | Yes | Good game for kids who can read. Had many laughs with our 7 year old while playing. |
| mudrash | 8 | | | Most of the kids I have played with prefer to use the "grown up" version, but this is usually fine with the younger ones. |
| Thies | 8 | 5 | Some | Minimum age depends on reading skills. My older daughter loves this, even though I'm rather indifferent to A2A in all its forms. Definitely a must have for the kids, though. |
| Thommy8 | 8 | | | Apples to Apples is just a plain fun time, it probably will not hold their attention for a particularly long time, but it is fun for a sizeable group, and should also help with learning words/vocabulary. |
| jeremycobert | 7 | | | The 4th and 5th graders in the afterschool club enjoy playing this game. They enjoy trying to talk each other into their choice. It is also a great game for learning language and vocabulary. I like that it has what the word means on it so they are learning while they are having fun. Plus it a bonus that lots of kids can play at the same time. |
| laraberrycross | 7 | 7 | Some | Easy to play, but can get repetitive. |
| shawndumas | 7 | 7 | Some | Kids will have no trouble and are likely to enjoy. No half naked women, gore, cursing, or morbidity. |

| Admiral Fisher | 6 | | | Nice. I do not think this works as well for kids as the adult game does for adults, though. |
| CharmlessMan | 6 | | | Had some fun playing this with my nieces over the weekend. My only problem with it is that they sometimes mulled over their responses too much. They are 9 and 7 and were worried that they would be wrong. The adults at the table were worried about giving too much banter (what makes the adult version so much fun) in case we offended them.
They did enjoy playing this themselves but they kept looking over at the adult table to see what we were laughing about when playing the adult version. |
